I was very excited to see the motion poster, its exactly like the teaser just smaller, and the contest that Lionsgate put about having your name in the credits for Catchin Fire just for sharing the logo was a bonus. I wonder how long its gonna take to reach 12 million shares.

I was completely astounded by the logo. Is it to dramatic for me to say I found my self breathless after seeing it? I loved the way the mockingjay pin logo lit into flames a crumbled into the Catching Fire logo. The music sent chills up my spine and back down again it was riviting. I love the tag line, I absolutely love and adore it. Every revolution begins with a spark. It makes me think of the conversation between President snow and Seneca crane in the movie where President snow tells seneca to contain the spark. I seriously think I cried when I saw it, I think my level of hope for Catching Fire shot up ten fold. I think I have watched it at least 30 t0 40 times, showed my whole family and all of my friends. I wish november 22 2013 would come faster, but its a wait worth taking.

Loved the Catching Fire Motion Picture! Shared it with all my friends and family, who loved it as well. It is amazing! I can’t even imagine how epic it was seeing logo reveal in theaters. Sooo are we there yet?

I really like the motion poster/logo. The transformation was cool and suggests continuity with the first film. It is also very close to the book and keeps the clock design. I wonder if ithey regret having “The Hunger Games” logo on fire because the “Catching Fire” logo can’t catch fire.

please, please, PLEASE discuss the latest filming picture released!!! it can be seen on hypable.com or mockingjay.net! i love the show, and love listening to all of you, so hearing your reactions would be PHENOMENAL!!

The motion poster actually took me by surprise. Maybe its because I’ve actually only ever seen one other motion poster in my life, but it really took me back. For one thing, the animation is amazingly good. I heard somewhere that Fire is one of the hardest things to animate, and the fire in the motion poster rocked.
Does anyone else think, though, that when the mockingjay’s change, it looks the slightest bit creepy? Its probably just me…..

The interview with V and Leah was great, I love the style of analysis I am finding in these books (I am now going to need to purchase a shelf of books from Smart Pop as early Christmas presents for myself). The answers to my question was perfect and covered everything and the pronunciation of my name was right (one of the disadvantages of using a Dungeons and Dragons character name on-line is the complexity of pronunciation for others.)

Oh and thank you for the point about the book vs movie cannon, two very different worlds and contexts.
